"A Sultan's Ransom" is obviously Power Metal quite far removed from the traditional style of the other bands listed taking huge influence from the US scene around the same time.

"To The Devil A Daughter" I wouldn't even consider Metal. It's boring Hard Rock with super annoying group sung commercial chorus'.

About Cloven Hoof's sultans ransom: Well, in music terms i dont agree. You can say it has some power metal moments, but not as an entire album that fits completely the term . If the european power metal is described with albums like Helloween's Walls of Jericho, and the American Us Power with bands like Metal Church,Ruthless,Liege Lord,Jag Panzer etc, Sultans ransom is not power metal. The UK never had a power metal scene, so even if sultans ransom is heavy/power it makes no difference to talk about 1 album.And it would be more strange if i had on the list only Dominator and the s/t Lp without Sultans,dont you think?
About Incubus: This is an album that I personally really like. I cant call it as hard rock. If you compare it with other classic albums from the NWOBHM movement like Ethel the frog,Praying Mantis or Shiva, i think it has much more hard sound. But as i always say, NWOBHM defines an era in metal music, not the so heavy sound of many bands that are involed with NWOBHM.

If you discount the big names, no matter how many polls you end up with, you'll always get "Lightnin the Nations" and Angel With self titled in the top, that's granted.
